A four-lane section from Phagwara to Ropar on National Highway No. 344A, being developed by the NHAI, will reduce the travel time from Jalandhar to Chandigarh to almost half. It will provide direct access to Khatkar Kalan, which is the ancestral village of Shaheed Bhagat Singh, said Nitin Gadkari, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways.

Gadkari tweeted that the project was being executed in the hybrid annuity mode at a cost of Rs 1,367 crore, spanning a length of 80.82 km. The section connects major cities such as Amritsar, Jalandhar and Chandigarh and extends mobility to Kapurthala, Ludhiana, Ropar and Mohali.

The highway is fully saturated with flowering plants throughout the stretch. It is also considered to be one of the safest highways in Punjab that will stimulate socio-economic development in the region.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
